Optimization Economic and Emissions of Hydro and Thermal Power Plants in 150 kV Systems Using the Dragonfly Algorithm

Abstract

Electricity is one of the energies required by daily living since the greater demand for electricity increases greenhouse emissions that create emission gases resulting in global climate change. The main portion of the output cost is fuel's cost to manufacture electrical energy in thermal turbines. The use of electrical energy is currently rising increasingly following the increasing population. The research aims to optimize hydro generation to minimize thermal generation expense and address economic problems and pollution from shipping. With 2016b using Matlab applications and the lambda iteration process, the analysis method uses the Dragonfly Algorithm method. The analysis found that the average cost of fuel consumption provided by the Dragonfly Algorithm method was IDR 151,164,418 per day with an emission of 917.40 tons per day, based on the simulation results the Dragonfly Algorithm in testing by considering the emission of 5 practical steps. Meanwhile, with the emission of 918,044 tonnes per day, the average cost of fuel consumption produced by the Lambda Iteration method is IDR 151,202,209 per day. Test results can enhance the fuel consumption cost of IDR 37,791 and emissions of 0.641 tons with the Dragonfly Algorithm process.
